political foo: Less wealth, less business

[alpharaposa]

Holding a garage sale? Better hire a lawyer first.

Meanwhile, tax revenue is down; the solution? Consumers need to spend more! Wait..

*glances at the first item*

Nevermind.

No, it makes perfect sense. Sales tax is rarely ever collected from garage sales and other private transactions. Better to force consumers to buy new stuff at retail, that's manufactured by large corporations that can afford to follow the testing protocols; higher sticker price, correspondingly higher tax.

Never thought you'd see a black market in children's books, eh?
